Sean Christopherson 37d2588185 KVM: Use a per-CPU variable to track which CPUs have enabled virtualization 
Use a per-CPU variable instead of a shared bitmap to track which CPUs
have successfully enabled virtualization hardware.  Using a per-CPU bool
avoids the need for an additional allocation, and arguably yields easier
to read code.  Using a bitmap would be advantageous if KVM used it to
avoid generating IPIs to CPUs that failed to enable hardware, but that's
an extreme edge case and not worth optimizing, and the low level helpers
would still want to keep their individual checks as attempting to enable
virtualization hardware when it's already enabled can be problematic,
e.g. Intel's VMXON will fault.

Opportunistically change the order in hardware_enable_nolock() to set
the flag if and only if hardware enabling is successful, instead of
speculatively setting the flag and then clearing it on failure.

Add a comment explaining that the check in hardware_disable_nolock()
isn't simply paranoia.  Waaay back when, commit 1b6c016818 ("KVM: Keep
track of which cpus have virtualization enabled"), added the logic as a
guards against CPU hotplug racing with hardware enable/disable.  Now that
KVM has eliminated the race by taking cpu_hotplug_lock for read (via
cpus_read_lock()) when enabling or disabling hardware, at first glance it
appears that the check is now superfluous, i.e. it's tempting to remove
the per-CPU flag entirely...

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
